The Best Kitchen Remodel Tips form the Pros

Kitchens are often the center point of a home: a place where families and friends gather as food is made, wine is poured, and good times are shared by all. 

So when you dream of the perfect kitchen, it’s easy to get excited and jump straight into the project. But without the right guidance, you may not end up with everything you wanted — so keep these kitchen remodel tips from the pros at Whitewater in mind as you go through the process.

Tip #1: Beautify Your Cabinets and Counters

One of the easiest places to start with kitchen remodel ideas is with the foundation — your cabinets and counters. It’s where you’ll store your items and prepare your meals, so you’ll need to make sure they fulfill two requirements:

  1. Be functionally durable

  2. Accent and magnify your design

There’s no one “right way” to make it work, but you should definitely play around with materials and colors to make sure the results are exactly what you want. 

Tip #2: Upgrade Your Lighting

It’s hard to prep food for a family when you can’t see what you’re doing — but lighting is more than that. The right lighting will accent your kitchen and help elevate the design you’re putting time and money into. 

Consider your lighting (both natural and artificial) and how you want to use it to craft the look and feel alongside your cabinets and countertops. The perfect match will work together. 

Tip #3: …And the Kitchen Sink

Believe it or not, many people forget about the sink when attempting a kitchen remodel. 

But these people are missing out, as there are a wide variety to pick from that can match any style. Types of sinks include:

  • Single Bowl

  • Double Bowl

  • Farmhouse 

  • Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks

  • Top Mount

  • Copper Kitchen Sinks

  • Cast Iron Kitchen Sinks

  • Fireclay

  • Undermount

And the list can go on. Pick the sink that matches your design and gives you the functionally beautiful kitchen of your dreams. 

Tip #4: Don’t Forget Your Appliances

What’s a kitchen without appliances these days? The last thing you need is for a fresh, modern kitchen to lose its curb appeal with old appliances. 

Chances are, an appliance upgrade can save you money in the long run on your electricity or gas bills. With high-efficiency appliances, you’ll have new toys to match your new kitchen that you’ll love playing with. 

Tip #5: Consider Extras You Can’t Live Without

Anything on your list we haven’t covered? Think amenities like a second sink, open cabinetry, places to hang pans, knives and other utensils… anything that screams “perfection” to you. Even new pots and pans (or dining ware) to help accent your new kitchen!

The little things all make the end results that much better!
